This technical tip explains how developers can store, read & delete a Word document in Database inside their .NET Applications. One of the tasks you may need to perform when working with documents is storing and retrieving Document objects to and from a database. For example, this would be necessary if you were implementing any type of content management system. The storage of all previous versions of documents would be required to be stored in a database system.
